In this special episode focused on the “The Big Fix,” we hear about climate solutions from around the world. Akureyri, Iceland is on the verge of becoming the world's first town to go carbon neutral. The town of 18,000 residents has some natural advantages, including abundant hydro and geo-thermal energy. And, the Russian invasion of Ukraine sent energy costs surging, European leaders scrambling for alternative suppliers of gas, and redirected flows of Russian oil toward Asia.  At the time, more than half of Germany's gas came from Russia. The war pushed a German government that was behind on renewable energy goals to enact some ambitious new policies. Also, the average size of a small farm in India is less than three acres. That makes small farmers there highly susceptible to the changing weather patterns brought by climate change.

Jack Tsigankov, Payrix Information Security Director, really knows how to put things in perspective when it comes to data and information security.As our guest on this episode of the PayFAQ Embedded Payments podcast, he tells host Bob Butler that cyber threats and attacks are constantly happening across merchants and the financial industry. In 2022 alone, there were around 1,800 publicly reported data breaches, a 40% increase from 2021 and at an all-time high average cost of over $4,000,000.“Data and information security are not just important, but absolutely critical for our partners in the payments industry,” he says. Staying vigilant and proactive and safeguarding sensitive information is imperative for all software companies with Embedded Payments.The leading cause of data breaches often include human error, according to Tsigankov. To prevent them, it's crucial to implement a multi-layered security approach, involving employee training and awareness programs, robust access controls, regularly software updates, strong encryption methods for databases and using applications, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities.He also recommends that security audits and penetration testing should be part of a software company's robust information security policy as well as the top 10 security controls. In addition, he suggests using tools like Big Fix or Auto Mocks that help companies automatically push updates to end users' machines.With a company's credibility, trust, and success on the line, the significance of information security cannot be overstated. “Follow the best industry practices. Pick one framework, like PCI DSS or NIST, and implement their best practices in your ecosystem. By sticking to those practices, you shouldn't have any data breaches or vulnerabilities in the future.”Don't miss this informative conversation to learn more about what you can do to protect your payments data and what Payrix does to help protect you.

Summer is around the corner and school's about to be out. So should older kids be obligated to work or go to summer camp? We opened the lines to hear from listeners. Carolyn Beeler, a journalist from The World , shares details about their journalism initiative called The Big Fix, which aims to explore global solutions for addressing climate change. Retired federal judge Nancy Gertner delves into the possibility of E Jean Carroll suing Trump for the third time, specifically regarding his comments following the sexual assault civil trial. She also discusses the ongoing debate surrounding the "independent state legislature" theory that the Supreme Court of the United States may or may not be grappling with in time for the 2024 election. Corby Kummer, a food policy analyst, highlights the inspiring efforts of individuals in Arizona who have successfully combated historic drought by transforming lawns into forest gardens and cultivating urban farms in food deserts. Kummer also touches upon Michelle Obama's new venture, PLEZi Nutrition company. The Revs engage in a conversation about the increasing trend of Americans praying in their cars rather than traditional places of worship. Additionally, they discuss what Ron DeSantis' lack of "God-talk" signifies for Republican politics on a broader scale. Charlie Sennott, an analyst from GBH News, provides a roundup of various global news topics, including the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, Ukrainian President Zelensky's meeting with the Pope in Italy, the recent elections in Turkey, and the Israel-Gaza conflict. We closed to show by asking listeners about their snacking rituals. According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly half of Americans are eating three or more snacks a day.

A few years ago, Hal Harvey, an acclaimed energy advisor and Justin Gillis, an award winning New York Times climate reporter, discussed the health of our planet over steaks. By the end of that dinner, they decided to write a book together on the principles individuals can rely on to help save the planet. (Sound familiar?)  That book became THE BIG FIX: 7 Practical Steps to Save Our Planet. And over the course of the book, Hal and Justin provide readers with seven essential changes communities must enact to bring greenhouse gas emissions down to zero.  Today, Hal and Justin join The Net Zero Life to break down The Big Fix in detail, and as always, I ask them to share their climate origin stories and climate role models. Hal is a Stanford trained engineer, and CEO of Energy Innovation. He is the recipient of the UN Climate and Clean Air Award, the Heinz Award for the Environment, and the State of California's Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award. Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush both called on Hal to Serve on national and international climate panels.    Justin is an award-winning journalist with four decades of experience with major daily newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Miami Herald. As the lead reporter on climate science at The Times for nearly a decade, Justin won the John B. Oakes Award for Distinguished Environmental Journalism for a series of front-page articles exploring the basics of the climate crisis.
